Software requirements for engineering and scientific applications are almost always computational and possess an advanced mathematical component. However, an application that calls for calculating a statistical function, or performs basic differentiation of integration, cannot be easily developed in C++ or most programming languages. In such a case, the engineer or scientist must assume the role of software developer.

such as pain or swelling.
Finally, a book describing in detail the oral care system presented in this pamphlet was

Disciplined attention to requirements analysis, modeling and design helps produce good quality software that solves the customers’ problems. However, any human activity, no matter how carefully performed, will involve mistakes. It is therefore necessary to verify meticulously that the system performs as required. In this chapter we discuss two important verification techniques, testing and inspection. We will also put these in the context of quality assurance as a whole.

Pipe stress analysis calculates the stress in a piping system subject to normal operating loads such as
pressure, weight, and thermal expansion, and occasional loads such as wind, earthquake, and water
hammer. Because all piping systems are connected to equipment such as vessels, tanks, pumps, turbines,
and compressors, the piping stress analysis also involves evaluation of the effect of the piping
forces and moments to the connecting equipment. As the piping stress is controlled by the arrangement
of the supports and restraints, the scope of piping stress includes also pipe supports.

Achieving state-of-the-art excellence and attaining the cost reductions associated with outstanding logistics efforts is an obvious gain in terms of competitive edge and profitability. As logistics tools evolve in comprehensiveness and complexity, and the use of these new tools becomes more pervasive, maintaining a position of leadership in logistics functions also becomes increasingly difficult. And in spite of its importance not only to the bottom line but also to the functionality of your operations, logistics improvement often lags industry requirements....

Amidst the many advantages of gas turbine (GT) combined cycles (CC) popular today from various standpoints (lower investment than for new greenﬁeld plants, reduced environmental impact, and faster installation and startup), one drawback is
that the achievable output decreases signiﬁcantly as the ambient inlet air temperature increases. The lower density of warm air reduces mass ﬂow through the GT. And, unfortunately, hot weather typically corresponds to peak power loads in many areas. So the need to meet peak-load and power-sales contract requirements causes many ...

Engineers use the concepts and methods of mechanics of solids in designing and evaluating tools, machines, and structures, ranging from wrenches to cars to spacecraft. The required educational back ground for these includes courses in statics, dynamics, mechanics of materials, and related subjects.

This book is based onmy notes fromlectures to students of electrical, elec-
tronic, and computer engineering at South Bank University. It presents
a ﬁrst year degree/diploma course in engineering mathematics with an
emphasis on important concepts, such as algebraic structure, symme-
tries, linearity, and inverse problems, clearly presented in an accessible
style. It encompasses the requirements, not only of students with a good
maths grounding, but also of those who, with enthusiasm and motiva-
tion, can make up the necessary knowledge.

Recent major earthquakes around the world have shown the vulnerability of
infrastructure and the need for research to better understand the nature of seismic
events and their effects on structures. As a result, earthquake engineering research has
been expanding as more and more data become available from a large array of seismic
instruments, large scale experiments and numerical simulations.

The purpose of
Measurement, Instrumentation, and Sensors Handbook CRCnetBase 1999
is to provide a
reference that is both concise and useful for engineers in industry, scientists, designers, managers, research
personnel and students, as well as many others who have measurement problems. The
CD-ROM
covers
an extensive range of topics that comprise the subject of measurement, instrumentation, and sensors.
The
CD-ROM
describes the use of instruments and techniques for practical measurements required
in engineering, physics, chemistry, and the life sciences.

Enormous number of books, reviews and original papers concerning engineering
applications of heat transfer has already been published and numerous new
publications appear every year due to exceptionally wide list of objects and processes
that require to be considered with a view to thermal energy redistribution. All the
three mechanisms of heat transfer (conduction, convection and radiation) contribute to
energy redistribution, however frequently the dominant mechanism can be singled
out.

Environmental issues play a major role in the planning, design, construction, and rehabilitation of highways. Indeed, their prominence has grown as the public has become increasingly informed on environmental issues and associated requirements. This chapter provides an overview to lend guidance in understanding environmental issues, and information to aid in the process of effectively addressing the various requirements in this area.

Welcome to the discipline of building services engineering. You will find that it
extends beyond the confines of this text, which concentrates on some of the ‘wet
services’ within the building envelope. Part of Chapter 1, however, looks at the
building and the way it behaves when it is intermittently heated, as it is important
for you to select the plant and design the system that will best suit the building
and its use. It is assumed that you have some knowledge of building services.

During my experience of teaching aircraft structures I have felt the need for a textbook
written specifically for students of aeronautical engineering. Although there
have been a number of excellent books written on the subject they are now either
out of date or too specialist in content to fulfil the requirements of an undergraduate
textbook.

Analysis and abatement of air pollution involve a variety of technical disciplines. Formation
of the most prevalent pollutants occurs during the combustion process, a tightly
coupled system involving fluid flow, mass and energy transport, and chemical kinetics.
Its complexity is exemplified by the fact that, in many respects, the simplest hydrocarbon
combustion, the methane-oxygen flame, has been quantitatively modeled only within
the last several years.

I am enormously grateful to all of authors who have contributed to this volume on gas–
liquid foam. One of the great pleasures of working with such accomplished scientists and
engineers from industry and academia is that everybody has known the level at which to
pitch their contributions.
Special thanks are due to Laurie Schramm who, along with co-authors, has contributed
two chapters on foams in enhanced oil recovery and flotation of oil sands, and to Thomas
Martin who endured initial confusion upon my part to produce a first class chapter on firefighting
foams....

Wavelets are functions fulfilling certain mathematical requirements and used in
representing data or other functions. The basic idea behind wavelets is to analyze
according to scale. Wavelets received considerable attention in the last years because
they are very appropriate for application in practical problems in areas of
Engineering, Physics and Technology.

The whole world is in the grip of energy crisis and the pollution manifesting itself in the spiraling
cost of energy and uncomforted due to increase in pollution as well as the depletion of conventional
energy resources and increasing curve of pollution elements. To meet these challenges one way is to
check growing energy demand but that would show down the economic growth as first step and to
develop nonpolluting energy conversion system as second step. It is commonly accepted that the standard
of living increases with increasing energy consumption per capita.
